Instructions for use

Injection

The most effective form of Travmatin in the treatment of dogs is considered to be an injection solution. When administered intravenously, the drug almost immediately relieves pain, brings the animal out of shock, and eliminates bleeding. The injections are effective as an emergency treatment.

Dosage

The dosage is calculated individually – 0.1 ml per 1 kg of pet’s weight. It is recommended to divide the daily dose by 2 times, administering the solution in the morning and evening. The duration of therapy is from 5 to 10 days, but in difficult cases it can be increased to 30 days.

How and where to inject?

Travmatin is administered not only intravenously, but also intramuscularly. The second option is easier, because with intravenous administration it is quite difficult to find a pet’s blood vessel.

An intramuscular injection is made under the shoulder blade into a fold of skin. For an abscess, injections are given around the perimeter, but this procedure can only be performed by a specialist.

Gel

The gel is a thick yellowish substance. This form of the drug is used for external use.

If the wound is shallow, then the medicinal composition is applied to it in a thin layer twice a day. If the wound is deep, then soak a sterile bandage in the gel and apply it to the injury site. After 30-40 minutes, the bandage should be removed.

The gel is not always easy to use. The dog will try to lick the medicine from the wound, so you will have to use a special protective collar.

Pills

Travmatin in the form of tablets began to be produced recently. The manufacturer did this to facilitate the administration of the medicinal composition. The disadvantage of this form is that the stomach has an acidic environment, which dissolves the beneficial components of the tablets. As a result, medications are poorly absorbed and the effect of treatment is reduced.

Single dose – 2 tablets. Frequency – 2-4 times a day depending on the weight of the pet.

Travmatin is prescribed for fractures, dislocations, cracks, and other tissue damage. It is prescribed for cuts, lacerations, burns, and frostbite. Other general indicators of drug use:
